It was a connection that was immediate and natural, but we didn’t really see it before that point,” she said. Gabbard's father is of Samoan-European heritage and a practising Catholic who enjoys mantra meditation. Her mother is Caucasian and a practising Hindu. The senator embraced Hinduism as a teenager.
